Russ doesn't ever use his own cash!
If you know anything about his ventures, you will see that it is always someone else's money and as a result, no-risk to himself.
i.e. Skyservice was funded by the various tour operators and Sky Regional funded by AC. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this new start up has Robbie Goldberg(Conquest), Jonathan Carroll(Itravel2000) or Michael Friisdahl (Sunquest) behind it.
An after-note...
looks like AC just announced that Friisdahl has been hired to run the LCC.
